Eugene’s icy voice rang out once again. “Have you read it clearly?” The journalists replied, “Yes, we have.”
But Eugene’s tone was still rather heated as he barked out, “And here I thought that you two were illiterate since you decided to sneak your way in here and cause trouble for my girlfriend!”
Both the journalists jumped in fright at his words. If Eugene held this against them, then they would be in serious trouble. “President Nolan, we apologize most sincerely. We just wanted the public to know the truth.”
Eugene was unmoved by their attempt to apologize and he rebuked, “And that’s why you’ve come all the way to the hospital to interrogate her?”
The two journalists quickly exchanged looks and said agreeably, “We’ll leave right this instant, President Nolan!” However, Eugene snorted and stopped them. “Leave? Did I say you could leave?”
This time, the journalists were stumped. What could he possibly mean? Was he going to detain them? After looking at their stupefied faces, Eugene slowly said, “I’ll give you a new headline to report. Come with me.”
As for Olivia, she had no idea what Eugene was up to either, but she followed along behind him regardless. Meanwhile, the two journalists stared at each other.
Neither one of them understood what just happened, but it did not seem like Eugene was getting back at them. Rather, it seemed like he wanted to give them something newsworthy. so naturally, they decided to go with him!
Late that night while everyone was fast asleep, a jaw-dropping headline blew up across all the news portals. ‘Eugene Nolan, President of Nolan Group, Admitted into Premier Hospital in Critical Condition.’
There were a few pictures attached underneath the headline. One of the pictures showed Eugene hooked up to a ventilator, and another showed North being pushed into a hospital room. The pictures also depicted the hospital entrance being surrounded by numerous bodyguards. Olivia, Brian, and Nathan were all seen at the hospital.
A brief statement of events followed the headline. However, the pictures were enough to fuel everyone’s suspicions that Eugene was in critical condition, and the description beneath was somewhat unnecessary.
“What kind of nonsense is that? If Grandpa wanted to keep this from you, then he wouldn’t have done it in front of you. Do you still remember what Grandpa said at the time?” Eugene refuted Olivia and probed her with his own question.
Olivia responded, “Yes, your grandfather said that you need to get married and have children. before you could get your inheritance. Eugene, it seems like you still have your work cut out for you.”
‘Well, doesn’t that depend on you?” Eugene hinted. “What depends on me?” “It depends on when you decide to get married. to me.” Eugene looked straight at her before slowly adding, “I don’t plan on marrying anyone else in this lifetime!”
Olivia’s lips twitched. “Just for the sake of the inheritance?”
When Eugene heard her response, he stared at her with narrowed eyes. “Do you think that I’m a person who’d do such a thing?”
